We interrupt the previously scheduled morning run qith a dog emergency.
For those that know me I make a conscious effort to note my food when I am truly focused. Which I have been. And I noted too much wine the other night and the subsequent sandwich and chips the next day. And I noted the healthy food as well.
The culprit I always try to stay on top of.... fresh beets!
You know the color goes through the system pretty much unaltered. Had a doctors visit on the subject alone. Inagine my embarrassment.
So this morning getting the dog is his cart and I notice a ting of red in his urine. I take him outside to go potty and eat. Sure enough crazy red urine.
Text my friend the pharmacist.
Call the vet.
Text a friend just to calm down. Their dog always has blood in urine problems.
And then I come back inside. There is a dish on the floor by his corner. I curse that it didnt make it in the dishwasher last night. Mutter mutter mutter as I bend down tom pick it up.
BEETS! I had beets this week. Bacchus had the bottom of the plate goodness from them last night.
Called the vet back. Cancelled the appointment. And made a note to not only remember what I eat but to also remember what scraps I give the dog.
Now to swim.
Phew
